Raychel Patrick - living with WPW

Hey, I'm Raychel Patrick. I'm 14, and I'm from south east Kentucky. I was born at Paul B. Haul Regional Medical Center in Paintsville, Kentucky.

I was born a healthy baby, nothing appeared to be wrong. About 6 hours after I was born, the nurse walked into the nursery, and I was grey.

 

Anyway, I ended up being flown to Hunnington WV. in a helicopter.  I was then placed in the care of Dr. Hydarian. He saved my life. 

I was on heart medication until I was one year old, then he winged me off it. 

Now once a year I go back for the check up.  I'm not allowed to drink or eat stuff with a lot of caffeine in it, or energy drinks, or diet pills, but I'm just happy to be alive :)

And look at me now, I'm totally normal.
